Swiss Army Camp knife

[cpaharley2008]

Noelia brought home this very large object, it looks like a giant Swiss Army Knife but it has all of the necessary campfire cooking utensils.....

A new take on the old version of camping utensils that all clipped together for transport. Novel but maybe not too practical.

Cats at the door was somebody else....but cats on the table was us

I just wish it had an extendable, telescoping, 10-12 foot ladder attachment function. Useful, I think.? Pocket packable? Well, those Swiss folks do miracles sometimes.

My take is that something that does multiple functions usually doesn't do any of them well. But I do have a couple of fat, huge Swiss Army knives, complete with scissors, metal files, multiple knife blades, leather piercing attachments and most importantly, can and bottle openers.

YMMV

I had an eating utensil knife when I was about 12 years old, but it didn't come apart so only one utensil was usable at a time... not convenient!

I had one of those sets, too, and probably still have it somewhere. "Camping" in a RV means not needing to deal with that sort of stuff.

Maybe Santa will grace you with one, finally.

Multi tools like that don't do anything well. Even my Leatherman is a lousy screwdriver.

I had one of those essentially useless contraptions, about the same age.

I never figured out how to cut a steak 'properly' with the knife and fork on opposite ends so fingers on the food always came into play anyway!

Those Swiss Army knives often did come with a teeny tiny set of tweezers, and a plastic, ivory looking toothpick/finger nail thingy, both secured in their quivers of the knife body. I still have mine, and admire them often. NOT!
Somewhere, I acquired a massive, 2 kg monster of a Swiss Army knife. Still have it, and use it...whenever I stumble over it and need to do self-surgery after the resulting fall.

I agree but it's better than the screwdriver that I don't have with me.

I carry mine continuously and feel undressed without it. But I do use it on a daily basis. I use the needle nose pliers most often followed by the knife and then maybe the different bits. But even the sort of crappy saw blade has saved the day more than once.

Yup. Better than nothing, but not a lot better.

I'm sure they'll make a batch that says "KirkB" or "Brian B-P" if we want - it appears to be a promotional item carrying whatever branding the buyer wants. I found one for sale online that is branded "FBI National Academy"... and stamped "CHINA".

But way, way better than broken fingernails.
